FOR YOUR BIG, STUPID RIDES

On the fringes of cycling and triathlon, already endurance-oriented sports, there are athletes pushing their bodies and equipment to the limit. Ultra-distance, but ultra-fast. Not bikepacking, but lightly loaded (and not afraid to sleep on a park bench outside Salzburg). We call these Big, Stupid Rides, and since the introduction of the Caledonia in 2020, athletes around the world have been exploring just how big and just how stupid those rides can be.

Whether these athletes are racing a traditional Brevet like Paris-Brest-Paris, or one of the new breed of ultras like the Transcontinental, they reach for the Caledonia-5. Caledonia-5 is built to handle long-distance, high-speed racing— with fit and handling geared toward comfort, but not at the expense of the

Cervelo race bike feeling.

Similar to the revisions on Aspero, we focused on improvements that would be meaningful for the people pushing Caledonia to its limits. The biggest thing you’ll notice is the addition of the in-frame storage first seen on P-Series. This isn’t designed to fit a burrito—there’s room for a small multi-tool, tube, and a CO2 canister. Out of sight, out of mind, until your tire makes the bad noise.

The focus for refinement was comfort. Caledonia is the bike to reach for when you know the odometer is heading for triple digits. And whether that’s training for Sverigetempot, or tagging along with your riding buddy who always seems to push the limits of Type 2 fun, Caledonia’s more compliant ride will be a welcome shift. The seat stays are dropped, similar to Aspero, which makes that rear triangle more acute, and more vertically flexible. At the same time, there’s a bit more downtube stiffness to maintain that pro-level responsiveness Caledonia is known for. You can still stuff some big tires (36mm) in there, and every bike comes with fender mounts.

Like all Cervélos, Caledonia-5 is UCI approved, and carries a lifetime warranty.

We make race bikes, and we make them to last.
